R2 is a hydrocarbyl radical, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl ( preferably methyl or ethyl ), and m is an integer of 4 to 20, preferably 6 to 20, most preferably 10 to 20. These compounds may be prepared by known methods, for example, by adding a trialkyl aluminum to a suspension of a compound with absorbed water or a salt with water of crystallization ( e.g., hydrated cupric sulfate and hydrated aluminum sulfate ) in a hydrocarbon medium.
- The olefins to be used for polymerization by the catalyst of this invention are a-olefins, such as ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-dodecene, 1-tetradecene, 1-hexadecene, 1-octadecene and 1-eicosene.

As the solvent in solution polymerization, may be used an alifatic hydrocarbon, such as butane, pentane, hexane, octane, decane, dodecane, hexadecane and octadecane; an alicyclic hydrocarbon, such as cyclopentane, methylcyclopentane, cyclohexane and cyclooctane; an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as benzene, toluene and xylene; or a petroleum fraction, such as gasoline, kerosene and gas oil.

Molecular weight of polyolefins can be modified by known techniques, for example, by selction of proper polymerization temperature or by introduction of hydrogen gas into the reaction system.
- In carrying out olefin polymerization, the two components of catalyst (A) and (B) (one kind of transition metal compound and an aluminoxane ) may be added to the reaction system after being intimately mixed together, or may be separately introduced to the reaction system. In both cases, there is no specific limitation upon the mole ratio and concentration of the two components in the system. But it is preferable that the concentration of component (A) be in the range from 10-4 to 10-9 mol/I and the Al/transition-metal- atom mole ratio be 100 or higher ( most preferably 1000 or higher ).
- The structure of terminal unsaturated bond in polyolefins produced by the use of catalyst of this invention can be identified by IR analysis. For example, vinylidene group can be detected by the presence of absorption peaks at 3095 to 3077cm-1, 1790 to 1785cm-1, 1661 to 1639cm-1 and 892 to 883cm-1.
- Use of a catalyst of this invention, which comprises an aluminoxane and a novel transition metal compound having two di-, tri- or tetra-substituted cyclopentadienyl radicals, gives polyolefins with controlled structure of terminal groups ( vinylidene type ).
- As will be apparent from the following Examples and Comparative Examples, the catalyst of this invention is higher in activity and gives polyolefins with higher molecular weight, compared with conventional catalyst systems. In addition, molecular weight distribution of the resultant polyolefins can be easily regulated if several kinds of the novel transition metal compounds are used in the catalyst.

At the end of reaction, methanol was added to decompose the catalyst and atactic polypropylene formed was collected and dried ( yield: 300 g ). The catalyst activity was 41 Kg/gZr• hr and the molecular weight of the polymer obtained was 3,000.
